I can't remain upright for long. When I have to drive myself somewhere, say 1/2 hour both ways, and do a few errands and chat with a few friends, it takes me 48 hours to recover back to my base line.

If I am up and take a walk for 15 minutes, I have to lie down and traction myself for about an hour. If I'm real good and don't actually do much of anything, ie: don't overdo, I can get away with an hour of up time a day.

More than that and kaka accrues exponentially. Sooner or later it hits 10 and I can't not lie down. I cramp from the neck down into a mishapen thing..... eeesh.

I can't do anything but commit to undoing the knots at that point. Pay the price. What's your life living time and recovery time like?
